MILLINERY ORNAMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 303.087, dated August 5, 1884. application filed April 1 1884. (No model.)

To cal-[whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, MINNA WEZEL, of Brooklyn, county Kings, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Millinery Ornaments, of which the following is a specification. This invention has reference to the manufacture of an improved style of millinary ornaments, which are applicable forhattri mmings, badges, artificial flowers, and other similar devices.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 representsa front elevation of a inillinery ornament made according to myinvention. Fig. 2 represents a piece of wire-gauze forthe body of said ornament. Fig. 3- represents bullion used for wrapping around the wire-gauze body; and Fig. 4 is a vertical transverse section of the ornament on line xx, Fig. 1, showing the method of applying bullion around the wire-gauze body of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A in the drawings represents the body or foundation of a millinery or other ornament, which is cut from wire-gauze of suitable thick ness. Around the body Ais wrapped an outer layer, a, of fine spiral wire, lgnown to the trade as bullion, of the samebolor as the body A. In winding the bullion (1- around the body A the spiral convolutions of the bullion are somewhat extended, so that itforms an open ment in the manner described, and connecting the parts properly, any desired figure or design may be produced, so that the ornaments can be used for a number of applications in the millinery trade.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A millinery ornament composed of a body or foundation of wiregauze and an outer layer of fine spiral wire loosely wrapped around said body, the meshes of the wire-gauze body being partly visible through the outer layer, and blending therewith to produce an ornamental figure, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
